Depth Perception
Song by Sean Solo
Depth perception lost on me
Their eyes were the ones to see
Every mind that could inspire
Left me no one to admire
Every time I opened up
I was never good enough
For the narcissists and kind
Only seemed to leave me behind
But I was always getting by
By saying things that I would always
Used to deny
Drugs and clubs were not my scene
I could not discern their sheen
Still I could not be alone
Though I’d rather be at home
But I was always getting by
By saying things that I would always
Used to deny
How many times could I go on
Putting on a front and wearing this old mask
Who could think to ask
Of all the people I could be
Never once did I only try to be me
But I got by
Their eyes were the ones to see
Every mind that could inspire
Left me no one to admire
Every time I opened up
I was never good enough
For the narcissists and kind
Only seemed to leave me behind
But I was always getting by
By saying things that I would always
Used to deny
Drugs and clubs were not my scene
I could not discern their sheen
Still I could not be alone
Though I’d rather be at home
But I was always getting by
By saying things that I would always
Used to deny
How many times could I go on
Putting on a front and wearing this old mask
Who could think to ask
Of all the people I could be
Never once did I only try to be me
But I got by
